Back in 2018, I was wondering what I wanted to be when I grew up… I dreamed of a workplace with a good coffee machine and interesting, international people around me, ready to start a productive day.
And that’s how SmartWorkPlaza was born. ❤️☕️
Over the years, Smart has grown, and so have I. Our journey has been filled with successes, challenges, laughter and tears. We survived lockdown and the pandemic and lots of more, we learned from our experiences and grew stronger along the way all together.
Being an entrepreneur is not always easy. There are busy days, endless decisions and plans that don’t always go as expected – even under the Spanish sun! 😂
But no matter how hectic life gets, at SmartWorkPlaza, we always find time for a cup of coffee together. We share ideas, dream up new possibilities and work together to bring them to life.
Today, SmartWorkPlaza has four locations and a community of more than 100 international entrepreneurs. But Smart is so much more than desks and offices. It’s a community where business partnerships grow and lasting friendships are made.
And sometimes, something even more beautiful happens: love finds its way. ❤️
Two members of our community have found each other and decided to get married! Today, their Smart friends are celebrating their bachelor and bachelorette parties and getting ready for the big day. And yes, this brings tears to my eyes once again.
I feel incredibly grateful and happy to work in such an international, inspiring and motivating environment. Being surrounded by people who encourage, inspire and support each other gives me the strength to keep moving forward, even when the entrepreneurial journey gets tough.
SmartWorkPlaza is not just a business we built. It’s a story about people, connections, dreams and growing together. ❤️
And that coffee machine where it all began…
Well, now we have several! 😂☕️
